世界観が唯一無二！

The view of the world is unique!

世界観が唯一無二で、初めて読んだ際はあっという間に読み終えてしまったのを覚えています。10代の頃に読んだ時と、今読んだのと、また見え方も感じ方も違って、何度読んでもおもしろいです。

The worldview was unique, and I remember that when I first read it, I finished reading it in no time. The way it looks and feels is different from when I read it when I was a teenager and what I read now, so it's interesting no matter how many times I read it.

好きです！

I like it!

This review contains spoilers. 私は最初映画版で観ました！雰囲気めちゃくちゃ儚い二人には幸せになって欲しかったなつめを襲った奴許さん

This review contains spoilers. I first watched the movie version! The atmosphere is insanely ephemeral and I wanted the two to be happy, Mr. Nuko-san who attacked Natsume

今更だけど...

More now, but...

今までなぜこの漫画を読まなかったのかと過去の自分に問いたい！2人の出会いから結末まで、終始作品に引き込まれました?こんなにもリアルで感情を動かされる漫画を描けるなんてすごいとしか言えない✨

I want to ask my past self why I haven't read this comic until now! Were you drawn into the film from beginning to end, from when the two met to the ending? I can only say that it's amazing to be able to draw comics that are so realistic and moved by emotions ✨

全ての漫画の中で1番好き

I like the most of all comics

This review contains spoilers. 本当に好きです。定期的に読み返しては、映画見終わったかの様なふわふわした気持ちになる。作者さんの感性がすごい。私は大友推しなんで、大友と付き合うかどうかのもどかしいところ〜ラブラブ期をよく見返しています。心がしんどいときは、その先は見れない、、涙けどやっぱり最後までみたら達成感や満足感でいっぱいになる。素晴らしい作品。コウちゃんとの穏やかな日々も見てみたかった大友の面影を探してダンスダンスダンスールも読んでいます。また大友とは違った魅力でそちらもハマっています。久々に読み返して余韻が消えないので、レビュー書いちゃいました！

This review contains spoilers. I really like it. When I reread it regularly, I feel as if I've finished watching a movie. The artist's sensibility is amazing. I recommend Otomo, so I often look back at the frustrating part of whether or not to go out with Otomo - the lovey-dovey period. When my heart is tough, I can't see beyond that... I'm in tears, but after all, when I see it until the end, I'm filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Great work. I also read Dance Dance Danseur in search of the vestiges of Otomo that I wanted to see during his peaceful days with Kou-chan. Also, it has a different appeal from Otomo, and I'm addicted to that too. It's been a while since I reread it and the afterglow didn't go away, so I wrote a review!

あぁすき…

ah, I like it...

別フレ連載当時は休載が多くてやきもきしましたが、後に紙コミックで一気読みして止まらなかったのを思い出して電子でも購入。その場の空気を描くのが本当にお上手で大好きな作家さんです。長い年月を掛けて完結しただけあって、内容も濃厚で未練のない読後感でした。

At the time of the Befure series, it was exciting because there were a lot of hiatus, but later I remembered reading it all at once in a paper comic and couldn't stop, so I bought it electronically. The artist is really good at drawing the atmosphere of the place and I love it. It just took a long time to complete, and the content was rich, and I felt like I had no regrets after reading it.

4回くらい読んだかな

I think I read it about 4 times

This review contains spoilers. 好きな作品です。なかなか描ける作家さんいないと思います。よくある、浅い恋愛じゃなく。最後、1ページ本当、うれしくなりました。

This review contains spoilers. It's my favorite work. I don't think there are any artists who can draw easily. It's not a common, shallow relationship. At the end, I was really happy with page 1.

ずっと好きな作品。読み出すと一瞬でこの儚くて切ないキラキラした世界観に引き込まれる。他の漫画じゃ味わえない気持ちになります。この先も何度も読み返したい作品。

A work I've always liked. When I read it out, I was instantly drawn into this ephemeral, sad, and sparkling world view. It makes me feel like I can't enjoy it in other comics. This is a work I want to reread over and over again in the future.

実写のナツメに負けず劣らず魅力的

No less fascinating than the live-action Natsume

全巻揃えてました。何度、読んだかわからないくらいに。。映画のあの2人の印象が強いですが、見た目に関してはかなりマッチしてると思います。映画より全然前に読んでたけど、ほんとーに魅力的な2人です。

I had all the volumes ready. So much so that I don't know how many times I've read it... I have a strong impression of those two people in the movie, and I think they match quite well in terms of appearance. I read it before the movie at all, but they are two really fascinating people.

一生大切な作品

A work that will last a lifetime

今まで漫画はあまり読まない方で、増してや男女の恋愛が含まれる作品なんて全く読んでこなかったのに、そんなあたしがここまで惹き込まれる作品は溺れるナイフがはじめてでした。読み進めてくうちにどんどん胸が痛んで感情が掻き乱されてるのに、涙が零れ落ちていくのに逆にここまで心を揺さぶる漫画も無いんじゃないかって思えました全能感に満ち溢れる描写も、絶望に呑まれる描写もとても繊細で切なくて感情移入できましたとにかく、この作品のストーリー構成や憂いの拭いきれない世界観が大大大好きです。まだ映画しか見たことない人はぜっったいに読んでほしいです□あたしの中の一生大切な作品になりました。

Until now, I haven't read many comics, and even though I haven't read any works involving romance between a man and a woman, Drowning Knife was the first work that drew me in so far. As I read on, my heart aches more and more and my emotions are being disturbed, yet my tears are dripping down, and on the contrary, I thought there were no comics that would shake my heart so much. The depiction full of omnipotence and the depiction of being swallowed up by despair were so delicate that I was able to empathize without pain. Anyway, I really love the story structure of this work and the world view where I can't wipe away my sorrow. If you've only seen the movie yet, I definitely want you to read it □ It's an important work for me for the rest of my life.

これは読み応えあり。

This is a good read.

This review contains spoilers. 大人が読んでも面白い!表紙から読み取れないくらい読み応えもありハマりました。なんで海の中で好きな人を苦しめているのか、意味わからなかったですが読み進めているうちにわかってきます。読み終わりはなんだかジブリ映画を鑑賞した後かのような感覚になりました。

This review contains spoilers. It's fun even for adults to read! It was so easy to read that I couldn't read it from the cover, so I was addicted to it. I didn't understand the meaning of why people you like in the ocean are suffering, but as you read on, you'll understand. When I finished reading it, I felt like I had watched a Ghibli movie.

気になり過ぎた

I was worried too much

続きが気になりすぎてポチっとポチっと続きの巻数を買ってしまった?引き込まれるようなストーリーで面白かった?

were you too worried about the continuation and ended up poking around and buying the number of volumes that continued? Was the story engaging and interesting?

めっちゃ良い！

It's so good!

映画よりももっと奥深くディ―プに描かれてあって、溺れるナイフってアオハルのことかなって思いました。一気読みをしたのですが、尖ったナイフの先のようなアオハルがピリピリしたムードで描かれてあって、でもそのぴかぴかに磨かれた刃にはキラキラ眩しい彼等が映っているのかな、と思いました。そして、お祭りのシーンは圧巻で、息が出来なくなるかと思いました。溺愛の甘いアオハルの恋愛作品はよく読むのですが、たまにこういうヒリヒリとした青春の作品もいいものだ、と思いました。

It was depicted in more depth than in the movie, and I was wondering if Drowning Knife was Aoharu. I read it all at once, and Ao Haru, which looks like the tip of a sharp knife, was drawn in a tingling mood, but I was wondering if they were sparkling and dazzling reflected in their shiny polished blade. Also, the festival scene was so impressive that I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe. I often read romance works by Aoharu, a sweet doting love story, and once in a while, I thought this kind of tingling youth works would also be good.

From the movie

映画を見て原作も知りたくなり読み始めました。菅田将暉さんの強烈に輝くカリスマ性と、小松菜奈さんの一度見たら忘れられない美貌がコウちゃんと夏芽にぴったりです。ご結婚おめでとうございます。

I watched the movie and started reading it because I wanted to know the original story. Masaki Sugata's intense charisma and Komatsu Nana's unforgettable beauty once seen are perfect for Kou-chan and Natsume. Congratulations on your marriage.
